"There are other and most excellent
farmers associations, but the Grange
has the high honor of being the oldest
and longest tried; it has gone through
ITS period of mushroom growth, with its
consequent reaction and years of apathy,
and has now taken on the development
of mature years. In its adaptability to
the largest number of farmers in all Gee

is unrivalled. Farm and Home.

SHALLOW VERSUS DEEP CULTIVATION.
In late years the subject of shallow as
opposed to deep cultivation has received
considerable attention from leading ag-
riculturists, who desire to know and
adopt the best methods. 1t is subject
that is worthy greater consideration
than it has heretofore received. In the
Prdnts Farmer j. NJ. Draper says:-"1

ploughing between the rows, mutila-
ting and tearing up the roots, is posi-
tive injury to the corn. If anyone
doubts whether deep or shallow Guilt

Suggestions for the Good of the Order:
81 think that every Grange should have
press committee who would carefully
report for the local and agricultural
papers all meetings of their Oranges.
Surely when there are discussions, like
those we have, an account of them would
serve to prove that Grange meetings are
not always all forms and ceremonies, as
some aver, and that they do not spend
long evenings in foolishness as others
say. Oranges should certainly try to
recommend themselves to the public in
every legitimate way."-A Rhode Island

Judging from all reports that are
coming in from the various signal sta
tions over the country, the "probabili-
ties" plainly indicate for the coming Of
fall and winter more activity in the
Grange atmosphere than for long
time. The "cold wave" has passed, the
temperature is rising and warm wave
is rolling across the continent wide
spread and so penetrating that even the
most remote districts must feel its in
fluence.
Offensive and yet defensive, aggres-
sive and yet conservative. the Grange
is moving grandly on, winning more
and more the respect that age CON-
msn ds, and the success guoh cause so
well deserves. Let the Saint hearts"
and those of little faith cheer up and
take hold again. Let those who have
followed after new and strange gods re-
turn again to the faith of their fathers.
Let the lost and stray sheep come once
more into the fold. The Grange was
never so successful as now; figures,
words and deeds proclaim it. "Noth-
ing succeeds like success"

asm of past years returning when he
witnesses the uprising of our class in
behalf of their calling. home and coun-
try. There are few Oranges now dor
mant but that are capable of recuscita-
ton, and it is merely question as to
time. Shall the few faithful ones in
each dormant body do the necessary
work promptly or wait for outside help?
| Is it not true that il all our workers
would determine that every dormant
Grange should be recognized, that the
| next six mouths would see nine-tenths
of all these in successful working order ?
Deputies have an importont duty to per-

Diversified Farming.

We would call the attention of our read
ers to the advantages Of diversified farming.
It is seldom that we see a farmer success
full who places his whole dependence upon
q single crop, The least miahap to that one
crop affects the entire results of the years
labor. To insure success his dependence
must not be placed upon one thing alone,
and no better plan can be adopted than to
plant a variety of the small grains for ami
NAL food, and keep stock enough to con-
sumo the greater part Of it.
Young stock is growing every day and
increasing correspondingly in value. He
has resources that he can depend upon for
money needed at any season Of the year,
while the wheat grower, if he needs money
at any other time than the fall must borrow
"till after harvest" and in two many cases
paying 2 to 4 per cent. per month interest.
The limit for successfully raising corn is
rapidly extending north, and one-half Of
Dakota can be reasonably called a good
corn country. This win enable farmers to
raise hogs which if properly kept are ready
for msrket at any time, and will be a prof
liable Investment to any farmer raising
them.
Every man who has tried sheep-raising
has been satisfied with the results and the
sale of wool comes just at o time when the
average farmer needs seme resdy money.
With the exception Of swine they increase
more rapidly than any other stock, and there
is no reason why every farmer should not
own a small flock of sheep. Colts require
but little if any more attention than calves,
aud at three years old will bring the owner
much more money.
We hope our readers will carafully con-
slider the subject and prepare to
what has proven successful in every state
where it has been adopted. Mixed farming
means prosperity and contentment .l-Dako
ia Ruralist.
